These meetings leave me invigorated and ready to tackle challenges in my clinic and research and I’m excited to share this experience with others in my new role. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I am particularly enthusiastic about creating more content and learning resources to equip my colleagues with more tools for working in pediatric mental health.”
